this has probably been posted before but it literally has become unplayable now i will go into a utc cage match and the moment i get into a match i start lagging as soon as we are allowed to go through the door it stops but then once iv been playing in the match for a little bit everybody suddenly stops moving and im hit with a

SERVER NOT RESPONDING in big red letters.

i have been trying to get around it and i know it is not my end.

i literally spen 75 percent of the time in my last match blocking because i spent 75 percent of the time with server not responding error.

if anybody has any ideas on how to help me or if they are experiencing the same thing please let me know.

Verify your game. That worked for me.
You can force a verification.

that is one of the first things i tried and it helped for a little while but it then proceeded to get worse im at my wits end here i love this game. but i would rather not play a slideshow.

Depending where you are in the world, your ISP might be slowing down your peak time connection. I find that British Telecom Broadband do that, between 5pm and midnight, and therefore i can't play if there's a patch required as my ISP effectively slows me down to less than 0.5mb a second so i either can't connect or if im in already i end up rubber banding on the spot.

well im in california so i doubt its my isp but this slow down doesnt happen at random it happens the same time everytime during a utc match if i could maybe get a dev or someone to help me out that would be great

Welcome to my world :)
